"Eerie 3.23...l actually agree with every single word of that,please don't post sensible posts as means l can't rip into you!"

[Eerie Descent]

"Not who I'd choose, and clearly no one else's choice from a fan perspective. However, some of the shit I've read on the other thread, fucking hell. Having now had a look into him, he's in no way the same as Moyes. The know it all on the other thread who is playing down the 3 best years in Sevilla's history, consecutive top 4 finishes which they've never done before or since and won the Europa, also took the bottom Prem club in December to 13th placed finish, has managed Spain & Real Madrid, yet is focusing on 1 year at Porto, wants Carrick who just finished 8th in the Championship. You have to laugh. Amorim clearly didn't want to come, and all the credible sources (not a load of blokes on the net like us) are saying that Steiden led the recruitment process, and he's turned down an approach from Bayern Munich because he wants to manage in the Prem. Unless any of you sat in the meetings, you don't have a clue what happened. The proof will obviously be in the pudding. It's not the most inspiring, but for fuck sake, people are going on like he was the man who spent fortune at Sunderland and got them relegated finishing rock bottom. This guy is clearly a very good manager, the problem I have is the style of football, but I'm prepared to wait and see before crying about it. If he's shit, I'll certainly say so, but let's give him a chance. The reaction to this is ridiculous."

Give him a fucking chance to manage! Stop the endless moaning.

[Vexed]

What a pitifully vanilla choice Lopetegui is. We really are an awfully run club aren't we? He'll be better than Moyes for sure but we're going to have a short term manager trying to rebuild from the burning wreck Moyes has left him with. Steidten will be on his bike for sure. By all accounts Lopetegui is a bit of a cսnt too. Magic.

[oioi]

Can someone tell me why I should be excited about this?

[scott_d]

"I am sure I read somewhere that Lopetegui is being represented by Will Salthouse? Which would explain why Sullivan is keen. Couldn't find any confirmation on the web though. It's the least inspiring of all the names, so it doesn't surprise anyone that he seems to be Sullivans favourite. The club is rotten from the top down and until that changes we'll never truly move forward."

[Fauxstralian]

Sky commenting on the strange statement Have reached agreement with Lopetegui IF Moyes doesn’t stay WTF?

[Kandu]

Confirmed on BBC website now

[MaryMillingtonsGhost]

"Haven't seen anything mentioning this appointment on/in any of the reptuable outlets, or the BBC ;-) Wishful thinking, or an LSD-inspired dream?"

[Yorkammer]

Uninspiring but hopefully an upgrade on Moyes.

Uninspiring but hopefully an upgrade on Moyes.

[Barty]

"We just need to add a set of full backs, centre back, striker and a left winger to the starting eleven and keep Paqueta, Kudus, Alvarez and Bowen!"

[LAF]

"With media storms all over the place with conjecture, your premature claim might end up accurate. But the question remains: have you gone too early?"

[Any Old Iron]

"Ha, ha. Fat chance with the squad we have. This geezer has a very big job ahead of him. Not sure he knows what he’s letting himself in for by working for the Theydon porn dwarf."
